The poor old Scandinavian moose is now being blamed for climate change, with researchers in Norway claiming that a grown moose can produce 2,100 kilos of carbon dioxide a year -- equivalent to the CO2 output resulting from a 13,000 kilometer car journey.

Assuming that moose in Alaska emit as much greenhouse gas as moose in Norway (and let's face it, surely American moose are much less likely to be climate change conscious than their more enlightened European counterparts), then Sarah Palin is on the front lines of combating global warming by killing moose – assuming that she isn’t driving more than 8,000 miles to bag the moose.
